Web Capture "copy" button should copy an image file, ready to be pasted into a folder
HotCakeX, at risk of giving this higher visibility by posting, I disagree because your request would make the button semantically inconsistent with how it is used.
When selecting a portion of a web page, we are not selecting an image file, but rather an image or section of an image, so the semantically correct behavior of a "Copy" button would be to copy a section of an image. Otherwise, when selecting a section of an image in MS Paint, then clicking "Copy," we should expect to copy a newly created file there, too.
Additionally, needing to click "Add notes" to copy the image instead of a new image file is unintuitive. There just is not anything that suggests clicking that button is good for anything other than adding notes.
Perhaps a better alternative to changing the function of the existing button would be to add a new button with the text, "Copy as Image File"?
